Allotmenteers Rock

I've said it before, allotment people are the greatest. I had an email from a friend on the allotments saying she hadn't seen me for a while. I confessed that I hadn't been down for a few weeks due to the appalling weather, and now I'm dreading going because the weeds must be neck-high.

She emailed me back to say she spent half an hour clearing weeds on my plot, and gave me an update about what's ready for harvest. I felt so touched, I almost cried.

Hi Melanie - I am getting excited because I recently posted a suggestion that only 6 people need to request an allotment for our estate for the council to have to consider the matter! This has resulted in a local councillor actively taking up the proposal...so fingers crossed...I will be tackling a whole load of weeds in the near future!

Yep, you're touched but perhaps that is what makes this blog so interesting.

I had my Landy (you may remember it- 1964, well paid its carbon footprint, etc.) MOT'd yesterday. One loose suspension bolt and one broken side light bulb. Just 850 miles since the last MOT.I do virtuous without trying.
